Clemson released its 2021 baseball schedule on Wednesday, and the Tigers are finally scheduled to face off against South Carolina in a major sport this academic year.
Clemson will face the Gamecocks in the second weekend of the season, with the games being played Feb. 26-28.
The two teams typically meet on the third weekend series of the season, with the games taking place the first weekend of March.
Clemson and South Carolina did not meet in football this season due to SEC rules. The men’s basketball game was postponed due to COVID-19 and appears unlikely to be made up. USC and Clemson were not scheduled to meet in women’s basketball in 2020-21.
Other key dates for Clemson baseball in 2021 include a three-game series to open the season against Cincinnati at Doug Kingsmore Stadium from Feb. 19-21.
The Tigers will open ACC play March 5-7 against Notre Dame. Other home ACC series are: vs. Virginia Tech March 19-21, vs. Virginia April 9-11, vs. Wake Forest April 23-25, vs. Louisville April 30-May 2 and vs. Duke May 20-22.
